How to pay
You pay when you sign and submit your entry, using MTN MoMo or Orange Money. Mobile money is charged in FCFA at our current rate of 575 FCFA per US$1, rounded up to the nearest 50 FCFA.
Refund policy: If we cannot submit your entry — for example because the official registration period does not open or closes before we submit — you get a full refund. Our fee covers preparing and submitting your entry only; it does not affect your chances of selection and does not guarantee a visa.
We are a private assistance service, not the U.S. government. Official entries can only be submitted at dvprogram.state.gov, where the official $1 registration fee is paid.
